<p>anyone else get a likely letter from UNC recently?</p>
<p>mine starts with...</p>
<p>"I write this morning to thank you personally for your distinguished application to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Over the last several weeks, as members of the admissions committee have reviewed your application, we have become more and more impressed by your many achievements..."</p>
<p>anyone know anything about this? am i in?</p>
<p>That's bizarre this late in the process. What's the rest of the letter say? It would seem to be a good sign. Are you OOS?</p>
<p>They sent out the same letter for EA applicants. My daughter and one of her friends both got the letter around Christmas and they both got in. If you search the UNC threads back for the last three years, UNC does this consistently. It is called a "love" letter and you're pretty much in. Congratulations!</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>yeah i'm from new jersey</p>
<p>I write this morning to thank you personally for your distinguished application to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Over the last several weeks, as members of the admissions committee have reviewed your application, we have become more and more impressed by your many achievements. While official offers of admission will not be mailed until late March, we believe you are an outstanding candidate the kind of student who will contribute to our community and make full and creative use of the opportunities we offer.</p>
<p>Those opportunities include outstanding majors in the sciences, arts, and humanities, as well as top-rated programs in business, journalism, and nursing. In completing these programs, our students enjoy classes that are smaller than those at all but a handful of the nation's top universities. Last year, in fact, more than half of our classes enrolled fewer than twenty students, and 89 percent enrolled fewer than fifty.</p>
<p>Our students also enjoy extraordinary opportunities in cross-disciplinary learning. Each year, for example, the Carolina Entrepreneurial Initiative sponsors the Carolina Challenge, a program that encourages students of all years and majors to compete for $50,000 in prizes for the best plans in commercial and social entrepreneurship. Through our Curriculum in Applied Sciences, our students may also draw on the strengths of our science and technology faculty to pursue concentrations in three areas biomedical engineering, computer engineering, and materials sciences that are normally associated with first-rate schools of engineering.</p>
<p>As you complete your college plans, we hope you will keep these opportunities in mind. We also hope you will join us for at least one of the special events we will be hosting in April for students of exceptional promise. Details about these events will follow shortly. In the meantime, if we may help in any way, please do not hesitate to let us know. Carolina is rightfully regarded as an extraordinarily welcoming place a scholarly community where students and professors genuinely like and respect each other and we will gladly do our part to give you the welcome you rightfully deserve.</p>
<p>Oh yeh, your in.</p>
<p>great thanks!!</p>
<p>cool i got the same letter, oos</p>
<p>Yeah, I got one too today
Im in VA!!!! I couldn't believe it!</p>
<p>I just got that one today too!!! I'm soo excited :). </p>
<p>btw, I'm in Maryland :D.</p>
<p>congratulations to all of you - i hope i get the letter too but it seems unlikely.</p>
<p>I hope I get one too...hoping, hoping.</p>
<p>I got one too on friday pretty excited, but i'm INS</p>
<p>? does everyone that gets accepted get the letter or can u end up accepted even if you didnt get the letter. did not get it so i would be very relieved to know that i still have a chance.</p>
<p>my d did not get one so i am really down. is there still a chance of getting in?</p>
<p>In the early round, many people who got in had not gotten likely letters first. I would guess it'd be the same way in the regular decision process, too. The likely letters did not entirely correspond to the strength of the applicants. Among the ones who got in early from my daughter's school, some stronger students did not get the likely letters, but some lesser ones did. I wouldn't be too discouraged by not getting a likely letter. Also, just because you didn't get one doesn't mean that one wasn't sent. The mail is pretty unreliable these days, so there may be a letter out there that hasn't been delivered yet.</p>
<p>For the early round, it seemed that there was at least two waves of letters sent out. My daughter's letter came in the second wave. Also, not receiving a letter does not mean that you won't receive an acceptance.</p>
<p>My daughter received a call from admissions back in early Dec. saying they were very excited she was applying and offered to answer any questions she might have. This was before she had submitted her application but they had her grades and test scores. She hasn't heard anything sense she submitted it except for reminders to the Financial Aid Appl. deadline, March 1. Did anyone else get a call? She was terribly excited but with this prolonged silence, we are beginning to wonder.</p>
<p>it is all so confusing. we got calls from the other schools but not unc.
the timing of the letters seems a bit close to the actual decisions. for instance, we got a call from one school a few months before we got the decision.</p>
<p>Many, many students get accepted to UNC without getting a likely letter. Please do not think if you didn't get an early letter that you won't get in; that is so far from the truth! Likely letters only go out to a select group of students during RD.</p>
<p>at least you got the email about the financial aid deadline.
the last email my d got was for her midyear grades.
the lack of communication is surprising because the emails are so frequent
before the deadline and then not much at all? so wonder how it is determined if you get the financial aid email or not and should i take that to mean my d was denied after the mid year grades (which we great?).</p>
<p>hard to keep her from just going ahead and picking one of the others.</p>
